The China Bay Tank farm, of World War II vintage, is of historic and strategic significance, being the largest tank farm located between the Middle East and Singapore. The tank farm connects to the Trincomalee harbour, which is the 5th largest all-weather, non-tidal natural harbour in the world, with a 56 km shoreline, making this tank farm most effective for fuel receipt, storage and supply. The tank farm, formerly operated by CPC, has a total of 99 tanks, each with a capacity of 12,000 kilolitres. Currently, only 15 of these tanks are operational. LIOC has invested significantly in developing the tankage and have drawn ambitious plans to make Trincomalee an important industrial site.
